CPM for video game sites

Discussion in 'Pay Per Click Advertising' started by Vcize, Jun 7, 2011.

    I run a small network of video game sites. The largest of these is a forum that gets around 2,000,000 impressions monthly.

    I've searched around but not found much better than $0.5 CPM offers. Is anyone out there doing better than that with semi-large video game sites?

    What kind of CPMs are you getting with those companies?

    Every time one of these threads pops up everyone just lists off a bunch of sites with no explanation. Of course, the sites are unwilling to give any details about what kind of actual CPM you can expect and applications often take weeks for approval. I'd rather know whether or not a site is worthwhile before signing up for 100 of them blindly only to find out they're actually useless.

    $0.50 CPM is pretty good, i don't think you will find anything better.

    Agreed $0.50 CPM is great. You will not find much better.

    I think the OP may actually mean $0.05. With $0.5 i don't know how anyone in their right mind would be unsatisfied, especially if they own a video game site.

    I do think the best way is to fish around. Why not try a different ad network. It might convert better for you. At trafficbroker.com you can get an accurate impression of your revenues in about 24-48 hrs. And can benefit from bonuses

    true, 0.5$ i think is far beyond what any ad network would offer

    EpicGameAds.com will give you $5 CPM rates (popunders) (They also work with CPA/CPC)
    They also have banners,leadersboards,blocks etc. The CPM rates for those are a bit lower unfortunately, but you should try it out.
    If you get 2 million impressions monthly, you can make big amounts of money :)

    Nope, no flash games or anything. These sites are information sites about console and PC video games.

    Nope, I did mean $0.5.

    Keep in mind this is CPM, not CPC.

    Exactly, if you wouldn't mind sharing .. it'd be great.

    Also, how are the eCPM rates for US traffic and international traffic on SurgeDirect?

    Thanks

    That post was from almost 2 years ago. The network that was paying $0.5 CPM for gaming sites is no longer in business.
